World Cup No-Vuvuzelas Zones – Flights to Best Sports Bar Cities in U.S.

Been watching USA play in the World Cup? Good – someÃ‚Â fascinating games, for the U.S.Ã‚Â and all the teams involved (especially if you love controversy — and who doesn’t). But tellÃ‚Â me: are you one of those people still wondering what the heck a vuvuzela is?

Vuvuzelas – A Soccer Tradition

Just ask any World Cup soccer fan:Ã‚Â vuvuzelas are brightly colored, plastic trumpets thatÃ‚Â are favorite accessoriesÃ‚Â at South African football (soccer) matches – fun “instruments” that the website SouthAfrica.info refer to as, “a beautiful noise”.

Maybe now you’re not feeling too bad about not scoring those tickets to see some of the matches – but where can you go to see your favorites play?

Where is the Quietest Place on Earth?

According to the Guinness people, the “Quietest Place on Earth” (as of 2004) is an anechoic chamber at Orfield Labs in Minneapolis. However, since this is an acoustics research facility, they probably won’t let you bring in a TV to watch World Cup soccer there, so we came up with alternatives. Like, sports bars. Okay, they’re not all that quiet, but chances are you won’t find many vuvuzelas in them.

Easy-to-Find Sports Bars

Please note: there are many fine sports bars all over the country – we are just mentioning a few favorites since you’d need a book to list them all (in fact there is a book: “America’s Best Sports Bars“).

Anyway, if you fly to any of these cities, you’ll have no trouble finding the sports bar for you, with plenty of vuvuzela-free World Cup action, simply by googling “best sports bar world cup” and the city of your choice.

World Cup play won’t last forever, so check out some flights and watch the games surrounded by fellow sports fans. And, if someone should happen to pull out a vuvuzela or two, there are always noise-canceling headphones.
